title: [An ambulatory model for treatment of panic and agoraphobia].
abstract: The article describes an 11-session outpatient treatment programme in groups for patients with panic disorder and agoraphobia. The main components are cognitive-behavioural therapy and use of tricyclic antidepressives. Preliminary results after the first year of this programme indicate that most patients were much improved after completing the programme, and most of them had maintained their gains at follow-up.
